Win a YEAR FREE of Organic Valley Goodness!

Happy Earth Week everyone!! This week’s giveaway is just awesome ~ I WISH I could win it! Have you all ever heard of Organic Valley Co-Op? Are you celebrating Earth Dinner for Earth Day this week? I LOVE Organic Valley and the concept of celebrating Earth Dinner any day of the year!

As so many of you know, I am a pretty big Loca-Vore and I LOVE Farmer’s Markets. I honestly believe some of my best meals are created when I support local Farmer’s and get locally grown organic products that taste just like I made them myself.

This is just one of the many reasons that I LOVE Organic Valley ~ they let me bring products from their Farms to my Table!

WHO IS ORGANIC VALLEY CO-OP?

They are a farmer-owned cooperative that lets people buy milk from farms close to home, wherever they live. They make all of their delicious foods without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or pesticides. They require 100% organic feed, outdoor access, pasture, and comfy living quarters for all of our livestock.

The Earth Dinner is a joyful, animated, and inspiring theme dinner party held at least once a year, connecting people to the earth, their food, and each other. It can be as planned or as spontaneous as you like. At its core Earth Dinner is a chance to highlight local, seasonal and organic cuisine—and most importantly, to have meaningful conversation about food, farming and our connection with the Earth.

Explore where each ingredient on your table comes from by asking guests, “Who grew the food? How was it grown? Where is it from? How does it impact the Earth?” Use these fun tools to inspire dinner guests to tell their own food stories, to remember the farmers who lovingly care for the land and grow the food—and of course, to be a little silly and have a lot of fun in the process.

If you don’t want to host an Earth Dinner, but, are still interested in participating, then, check out one of these AWESOME Chef’s Collaborative and Organic Valley Sponsored Earth Dinners in your area. Click HERE to find one near you.

Pretty cool, huh?! Ok, now for the FUN STUFF!!

The folks at Organic Valley Co-Op want to help you celebrate your own Earth Dinner EVERY WEEK this year by giving away a year supply of Organic Valley Products!

The Fine Print: Thanks to the folks over at Organic Valley Co-Op for giving me the chance to give one reader an entire year of their products plus more! This contest is open to US-Residents only (sorry my Canadian friends).

The winner will be randomly drawn and announced on Friday, April 22, 2011!

To be honest this is the 1st year in my life actually that I can say that I am healthier then I’ve ever been. So winning this would be amazing as it will continue my journey that has changed not only my lifestyle but my families. I love that my kids are eating much healthier and really enjoying it & seeing the benefits have been amazing. Thank you for such an amazing chance at this.

I want to win a year supplies of Organic Valley Goodness because I always try to eat organic, since it is better for my body and the environment. However, it sure can get expensive! This would be an amazing!

I became a vegetarian when I was 7 years old after reading a book with many horrendous pictures about factory farming. My parents were not too keen on the idea of my becoming a vegetarian since it meant that they would have to change their established methods of cooking. They decided that I could become a vegetarian if I gave them a persuasive presentation about why I wanted to be a vegetarian and learned to cook at least two meals a week for myself. So I gave the presentation, began learning to cook, and became a vegetarian all at the age of seven. I have been madly in love with healthy food and cooking since then.

I am currently a college student majoring in video production with minors in integrated marketing communications and art with a severe passion for all things sustainability and environmentalism, with a HUGE focus on food. In my classes, whenever we talk about brand loyalty, I talk about Organic Valley. I love Organic Valley products, I always have at least 4 of their cheese products in my fridge at a time. I will always choose organic valley products over competitors because I love and support their mission, and I know that I can trust that they are treating the food with the utmost care. I hope to use the skills that I am learning in college to spread the messages of environmentalism and the importance of good food.

It is really difficult being in college and only eating organic foods. I spend 90% of my (very minimal) income on fresh, healthy organic food, especially organic valley products. I have given up eating at restaurants, I don’t go out to bars, and I have made many, many other sacrifices in order to always ensure that I am making the most important choice of all with buying organic food. If were able to win a year supply of groceries from organic valley, I could not begin to describe my jubilation! It would completely change my life. The mere idea of it has gotten me in such a frenzy of delight at the prospect! I can’t imagine a more enticing, wonderful prize than Organic Valley groceries. I would absolutely choose that over any kind of vacation or other prize. If I were to win a year of Organic Valley groceries, I could share my cooking with more people and make them better understand the importance of eating organic and how amazing it tastes. Then all of them would start purchasing Organic Valley products and continue to choose Organic Valley products after college. I have already gotten many of my college friends to choose certain organic products, especially organic valley milk and eggs. I know that I could attract so many more people to the Organic Valley brand right when they are in their prime for developing brand loyalty as they are about to graduate from college and begin making all of their purchasing decisions for themselves. I love sharing my passion and knowledge of good food, and this would be an incredible opportunity to do so. If I were to win a year of groceries, it means I could spend my senior year of college really focusing on my films and on financing my films instead of spending all of my time working for money to spend entirely on food.

Please pick me. I can’t not begin to express how much it would change my life for the better.

Although I won’t be able to have an earth dinner THIS friday (i’ll be out of town ughh), I think it is such a great idea and definitely want to have one in the near future! I would absolutely LOVE to win this contest because although i love organic food (and organic valley products!), my wallet…doesn’t.

Buying organic can get very pricey, very quickly! ahhh i hope i win! FINGERS CROSSED 🙂

1~ I host organic dinners all the time since our family has eaten primarily organic and local (whenever possible and w/in budget) since 2004. Specifically though, I am having a friend and her two daughters over on Friday morning to learn how to bake organic yeast bread. The lessen is to be followed by a picnic at the park with lots of great “be kind to the earth” discussion. My friend specifically asked me how to help her and her family live healthier… yay!

Oh my gosh, I love this concept. We were just thinking about having a party next month and this would be fantastic. Thanks for the idea and download. You rock.
A year of OV would be awesome too. Thanks for the op.

I’m not sure if I’ll be making the Earth Dinner, I will download the booklet and read more. We have just started trying to eat more ‘clean’ organic food, and we went to the Farmers Market this weekend. Also trying to buy the best meats too, cage free, grass fed, etc. I’d love to try all of the Organic Valley products 🙂
Great Giveaway Danica 🙂

I’ve never heard of an ‘Earth Dinner’ before, but I have talked to my fiance and we will be hosting our first (hopefully annual) Earth Dinner this Saturday! I cannot wait. I would love to win a years supply so I can constantly be conscious of my food sources.

I am a college student advocating people to go organic. I have been a vegetarian for the past year and after learning more about eating organic I have been supporting organic farms. I only eat organic meat and most organic produce. Eating organically is not always easy financially and winning would be very beneficial. I would love to do an earth dinner too!

I eat organic as much as I can although it is often difficult living in an area where the stores don’t fully stock organic. I’d love to win free organic products for a year. Unfortunately I won’t be hosting an Earth dinner, although I will definitely be cooking all organic for the next three weeks.

I won’t be having an Earth Dinner this year due to prior commitments, however I think it is a really great idea. I already use a lot of Organic Valley products, and I would love the opportunity to try more of their quality products. It’s good stuff!

this is awesome! no~i am not celebrating an ‘earth day’ dinner…..but i am back on the healthy band wagon! i am super excited because i started back at WW over a week ago and i am down 4.6 lbs! whhhewwww whoooooooo! i would love to win this to ‘kick’ start my ‘diet’! thanks so much for hosting! xo
p.s. i also found your new website and love it! you look soooo pretty on your wedding day! i love your dress!

What an amazing giveaway! I had never heard about an Earth Dinner but I plan on researching it now! I would love to win this for myself and my husband since we have made a pact to become healthier not only for ourselves but for our children!

I would love to win organic valley products. I love my family and try to feed them the best food I am able. But being a stay at home mom, I have to really stretch our food budget. This means I have to pick and choose what I buy organic, doing the best I can. So I would LOVE this.

I work on an organic, grass-fed goat dairy. The farmers I work for have observed that aside from small, private farms, Organic Valley farms are treated the best, so I always buy their products. I would love to win this because it would be a great relief to our food budget!

I love doing my part for caring for the Earth, no matter how little or insignificant it may seem. Providing a year’s worth of organic groceries will hopefully help my family understand how much better organic is for you. This is so amazing

Real food (fresh, non-processed) changed my life. Yes, I did lose weight, but its more than that. I fell in love for the taste, the smell, the texture of organic foods.
The energy you get, how your body responds…thats what I want for my family and myself. I cant buy organic all the time, so I splurge now and then – but the free supply would help me to save for more of organic! Count me in please! :o)

I think hosting an Earth Dinner sounds like a wonderful idea and I would love to do it. I would also love to win a years worth of Organic Valley Supplies because I fully believe in their values and would be so proud to endorse their products as much as I can.

I am not hosting an Earth dinner this year (unless you count the inevitable dirt my children will choose to eat at some point now that it’s warmer outside), but we are making a conscious effort to get more organic “basics” into the house.

Oh This would be an amazing giveaway to win!! I will not be hosting a dinner on friday as I will be traveling home but I will as soon as I unpack and get resettled! Growing up on a dairy farm, everything we had was organic. We raised jersey cows and would skim the cream (mind you, a 2 qt jar was half cream and half milk) off the milk and whip it for whipped cream. That is what I call whipped cream, not the store bought stuff! LOL I miss the organic meat that we raised and the raw milk – so delicious. I would love to win this!

Unfortunately I am unable to host an “Earth dinner” because I live an hour away from my family and the one person I was close to where I live passed away in Feb., so it’s just me and my rescue Beagle Max. My daughter is in college so I rarely see her. I would love to win this contest because in the past 18 months I have lost 70lbs. and I am disabled and I live on a very small amount of money. It would be a true miracle to me if I won!! I have diabetes so eating healthy is very important to me!!
Thank you very much!!
Tammy 🙂

I just put the contest on my Facebook page which will be seen by alot of my friends that belong to Kim Bensen’s websight. Kim lost 150lbs. and she has her own websight to help others. I’m sure they will want to enter this contest too!!
Toodles!!
: )

It would be great to win this because I had to start buying my own food this year because I finally moved off campus and being a college student I sometimes don’t get to buy as much organic or local as I would like to.

I’m a dairy fiend. Seriously, I have yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese on my sandwiches, protein shakes made with milk… And that’s all in one day! I could definitely not see myself being vegan, just cause of the dairy. That’s why I’d love to win this!!!

Memorable food story… I tried the WW lemon pie recipe that was in the weekly last month and it was a flop! The pie looked beautiful but my lemons must have been off because not a single person in my family could finish a piece! Lesson learned – taste as you cook even if means have to take a point of 2 for BLT’s.
And I would love to win a year’s worth of groceries to help us move more toward organic dairy (the biggest cost for us and the wisest move in my opinion)

I definitely am planning on hosting my own Earth Dinner and am downloading the Earth Dinner book now! 🙂 A year’s worth of supplies of Organic Valley Goodness would be AMAZING since I already buy their milk and eggs! Great giveaway! 🙂

I am now planning on having an earth day dinner… and I would love to win this prize …both for the same reason… my kids. I think it is so important to teach my kids about nutrition and the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. This prize would help do this! Fingers crossed 🙂

I would love to win this giveaway! I am a soon-to-be-graduating college senior about to have to cook for myself in the city, and it would be amazing to be able to use organic valley products for free for a year!

Most of our dinners have that sort of theme- we talk a lot about where our food came from, and which items are in season locally and which ones came from far away. My 3.5 year old absolutely loves the farmer’s market and has a little calendar on which he is counting down the days until it opens. 🙂

We only feed organic dairy products to our vegetarian children and love Organic Valley products!

I will definitely host an Earth Dinner. I would love to win because I have been trying to integrate more organic products into my families diet. Unfortunately the supermarkets near me do not provide a great deal and the products are often pricey. I would love to be able to not worry about cost.

I would love to win a year’s supply of products… Organic products are so much more expensive, but they truly are what we should be eating. They have become a staple in my diet. I even order organic and local fruits and vegetables delivered to my house every 2 weeks!
I also tweeted about your contest. 🙂

I hadn’t thought about hosting an Earth Day dinner but now I am! It would be great to sit down with friends to appreciate the world around us, and will get me to start shopping at my local farmer’s market again. Having a years worth of organic groceries would be wonderful for not just me and my husband, but hopefully our future children 😉

I will be hosting an earth dinner for my family. I try to have fairly regular, fairly healthy brunches for my family (parents, siblings, outlaws and inlaws) so we can make time for each other with our busy schedules. But it’s been a while, so I will have one within the next couple of weeks, using fresh local products from our farmer’s market or organic products from the store. As it is spring, I think I will make little herb plants for everyone to take home – perhaps planning a menu around those herbs. Buying organic is important because I want to feed my family real, healthy food made by local farmers (i love to support local business whenever possible, and that includes farmers) not chemicals made in science labs. Winning a year’s supply of Organic Valley would be a blessing on our single income bank account. And although my son is a picky eater, I can always get him to eat cheese and drink milkm so at least he gets his calcium and protein when I can get nothing else in him. lol. We frequently buy Organic Valley, and they are a brand I trust. I’d really love to win a year’s worth of organic goodies for my family to enjoy.

I’m not specifically having an Earth Day dinner, but we are eating healthier. I started following your bog and another and try now to make my meals at home. We’ve shopped TJ’s and found great healthy items and I’m getting more courageous about trying new things, and DH is LIKING THEM! That’s the shocker. I really want to try and eat more organically and would LOVE to win this Organic Valley prize package. I’ve tried organic milk and thought it even tasted better than regular milk.

This would definitely help me put more organics into my kitchen. The main deterent is, of course, price. This is an exciting drawing! I will be reading more about the Earth dinner idea. I love the sound of it will probably do something or find one to go to.

I do try to feed buy organic foods as much as possible. It’s too scary these days with what they are doing to food. Did you see the movie Food inc.? There is another one I saw too, but can’t think of the name…anyways it was down right scary. This would help a lot! Thanks for the chance.

A year supply of organic food would be a blessing for me and my family.
My children have just turned 2 & 3 years old, and they drink only water & organic milk. I also try only purchasing organic foods but it gets SO expensive.
This would help out a GREAT deal!!!
Thank you!

I have no plans to host a dinner primarily because I’m in the final weeks of nursing school, working night shift and my dinner is usually everyone elses’ breakfast 🙂 I’d love to win because, at the moment, I can’t afford organic products, but I know how important organic foods are to sustaining a healthy body.

We are not having an Earth Day dinner and seriously I would love to win this because my husband has been unemployed for 2+ years and we can not afford t by organic anything . I love feeding my kids organic foods but it just isn’t in the budget. Winning this would help our family in more ways than one.
